Basic Disaster Supplies Kit

The following list provides the basic supplies you need to have on hand in case of an emergency. Keep these items in a rugged but easy to carry container such as a large covered trash can, overnight backpack or duffel bag. Keep smaller versions of the kit in the trunk of your car and at work. If you become stranded or are not able to return home, having some items will help you to be more comfortable until help arrives. Store your kit in a structurally sound location.

Water - one to three gallons per person per day, for drinking, cooking and sanitary needs.
